Acclaimed as one of the masters of paranormal romance, Maggie Shayne enthralled readers with her extraordinary trilogy about a race of immortal witches. Now, she presents the story of an immortal whose existence has centered solely on vengeance and hatred-only to find a second chance at love, redemption-and immortality.

Her name is Puabi—and she's an Immortal High Witch whose past is littered with dark secrets. Convinced she has eluded death for the last time, she is shocked to find herself being rescued by a mysterious stranger who fills her with a desire she thought was lost forever...

His name is Matthew Fairchild—and he is a millionaire tormented by guilt over the tragic death of his wife. The last thing he expected to encounter was a beautiful woman who possessed an uncanny resemblance to the woman he loved and lost. But Puabi is like no one he's ever met before. Is it possible this enigmatic beauty can heal the bitter wounds that have nearly cost him his heart?

"Four novellas by the leading ladies of paranormal and science fiction romance open a view into the lives of both familiar beloved characters and new faces.  ...these tales do reveal the breadth of the genre and offer a delightful opportunity to sample these popular authors. " -- Booklist

"An excellent anthology to whet your appetite for these four terrific writers--J.D. Robb, Laurell K. Hamilton, Susan Krinard, and Maggie Shayne. Because of the anthology format, these paranormal/futuristic love stories are relatively brief, but do give you a taste that will leave you wanting more! Great for a "palate cleanser" when you're in between books, or perfect for bringing on a trip!" -- Fedora C, Paperback Swap

"It's great to have an anthology where the majority of the stories are so good. Even if you're mainly interested in only one of the authors, be sure to check out the stories by J.D. Robb, Laurell K. Hamilton, and Susan Krinard." -- Laurie Shallah, All About Romance
